SWALLOWED A LIZARD.

Frank Dlsaer, young man living
at Bolesville, Pa, died last night as
the result OF swallowing a lizard
two weeks ago. Dishler was a hearty,
robust man, with a magnificent phys
ique. May 6, which was an exceed
ingly hot day, he was at work in the
field, and oyerheating himself, drank
an unusual amout of water, which
was procured from darkened spring
house, and he imagined, when too
late, however, that something else
had gone down with the water. In
an hour he was taken deathly sick
with cramps and pains in the region
Of the stomach. His condition grew
worse for two days, during which he
was seized with the most violent con-
yulsions, in which it was thought he
would die. 4 vigorous treatment
was decided upon, and tor four or
five days he was denied all food ex-
ccpt mouthiul Of warm milk twice
a day. His agony during this ordeal
was pitable in the extreme. Finally
a powerful emetic was administered,
and after thirty minutes of terrible
retching, Dishler expelled an ugly
black lizard about two inches long
that emitted detestable odor. The
reptile was exceedingly lively after
being forced into daylight, but died
in an hour Dishler, who had been
reduced from almost two hundred
pounds to scarcely ninety, began to
improve at once, and his recovery
was deemed certain until yesterday,
when he was again attacked with
violent vomiting spell and died in
short time.

HOW THEY LIVED.
Washington Critic.

The North bound stream of Flori-
da eXcursionists have nearly ceased
to flow. One of the tail enders
leaves this little incident in Wash
ington: The train had stopped to
water up at a North Carolina sta
ton, which has recently come into
prominence as winter health re-
sort. Two big, white hotels were in
sight over the scrubby, untitled
landscape, with few mud and tim
Der shanties among the pines. An
anarchy cart with a stub, tail mule
and two-year old steer hitched in
unison stood near the station. The
apparent owner of the cyclone wreck
was long-legged, dilapidated clay
eater, with the juice of General Tom
Cllngman s universal panacea trick
ling down the corners OF his month.
A car window shot up and a nasal
voice Intercepted the native in

A coon JOKE.

Boys are often fond of playing
practical jokes ..STch may some
times be doRs:'6tt never to any one s
Inconvenience. In one of our col
leges professor who made himself
very friendly with the students was
walking out with an intelligent schol.
ar, when they saw an old man hoe
ing in a cornfeld. He was advanc-
ing slowly with his work toward the
road, by the side of which lay his
shoes. As it was near sunset the
student proposed to play the old man
a joke. Il will hide his shoes; we
will conceal ourselves behind the
bushes, and see what he will do.
No" said the professor, it would
not be right. You have money
enough, just put a dollar in each one
and then we will hide behind the
bushes and see what he will dc"
The student agreed 10 the propos-
al, and they concealed themselves
accordingly
When the laborer had finished his
row Of corn, he came out of the field
to 90 home. He put on one shoe,
felt something hard, took it off, and
found the dollar. He looked around
him, but saw no one, and looked up
gratefully toward heaven. He then
put on the other shoe, and found an
other dollar. He looked at it, and
looked all around him, but saw no
one. He then knelt upon the ground,
and returned thanks to God for the
blessings which had thus been con-
terred upon him. The listeners learn
ed from the prayer that the old mans
wife and one of his children were
sick, and that they were very poor
so that the two dollars were a great
relief sent to them from heaven.
There, said the professor, show
much better that is than to have hid
the old mans shoes"

HOW TO BE AGREEABLE.

cry rarely, if ever, young persons
acquire the ability to converse with
ease and huency. This implies,' first
OF all, good ideas, clearly and sensi-
bly, expressed. An empty mind never
made a good talker; remember, "you
cannot draw water out of an empty
well. Next in Importance is self
possession. "Selt-possession is nine
points in the law of good breeding.
A good voice is as essential to self
possession as good ideas are essential
to fluent language. The voice, from
infancy, should be carefully trained
and developed; full, clear, flexible
voice is one of the surest indications
OF good breeding; it falls like music
on the ear, and while it pleases the
listener, it adds to the confidence. of
its possessor, be he ever so timid.
One may be witty without being pop
ular; valuable without being agree
able; great talker and yet a great
bore. 1t is wise, then to note care
fully the following suggestions
Be sincere; he who habituall y
sneers at everything, will not only
render himself disagreeable to others,
but will soon cease to find pleasure
in life.
BE frank; a frank open counte-
nance, and clear, CHEEKY laugh are
worth far more, even socially, than a
'pedantry in stiff cravat."
Be amiable; you may hide vim
dictive nature under polite exteri-
or for time, as a cat masks its sharp
claws in velvet fur, but the least
provocation brings out one as quick
ly as the other; i'll natured persons
are always disliked.
Be sensible; society never lacks
for fools. Ii you want elbow room,
go up higher"
Be cheerful if you have no great
trouble on your mind, you have no
right to render other people miser-
able by your long face and dolorus
tones. If you do you will be gener-
ally avoided.
But above all be cordial true cor
diality unites all the qualities we
have enumerated Ame7icaR Aqri-
calt0ist.
